I took the rasp to build #1 and liked the result, so I enhanced the cutaway on build #2.
Now... the body on the PRS-1TS is basswood, which is quite brown with distinct 'flecks' in the grain. THIS kit is also advertised to be a basswood body, but the two woods are quite different. Much whiter, finer grain, no 'flecks'.
PRS-1TS with basswood on bottom, PRS-1Q mystery wood on top.
I was going to just stain the back black, like build #1, but this is nice looking wood, so I'm thinking I might attempt to match the burst on the top.
So... is it basswood? Or have I scored?
